[Bolton's Boots]

That's 4 questions

Where did they go, which teams did they play, what were the scores and who scored the goals?

That any better?

 

[canary-dave]

Is that now buy one, get three free?

 

[colognehornet]

At the end of the 68/69 season the team went to Malta as I recall, and played Sliema Wanderers and Valetta. I assume we won them - I think Sliema was 3-0 the other I don't know. I`ll guess at Endean, Scullion, Keith Eddy and Terry Garbett. It was all just after Ken Furphy's testimonial against Arsenal.

Part 1 - correct
Part 2 - correct
Part 3 - one correct score
Part 4 - one correct scorer (Endean) - four more to name

I confess to supplementing my memory with google for this one as I couldn't see anyone getting it any other way. the Valetta game was 2-1, and the 5 scorers were Barry Endean (Got that one), Tom Walley, Roy Sinclair and Walter Lees + an own goal.

I won't ask who scored the own goal - although he shares his name with a dirty Palarse/Millwall/Wolves player of Australian extraction.

Ten?

 

[colognehornet]

Ten?

Nope, not 10.

 

[canary-dave]

Ten?

Was that including Carol from A Christmas Carol? Try 11

 

[colognehornet]

Er, 11 is right (not with Carol) so, over to you.

They were: Oliver Twist
David Copperfield
Nicholas Nickleby
Martin Chuzzlewit
Dombey and Son = 2
Mr. Pickwick
Barnaby Rudge
Our Mutual Friend
Edwin Drood
Little Dorrit

Hmm - if you're going to include that one, why not The Haunted Man?

 

[canary-dave]

Easy one then, some recent have been very difficult!

Beefy is a famous cricketer but what other professional sport did he play and for whom?

 

[oldfrenchhorn]

Football : Scunthorpe

 

[Bolton's Boots]

Football - played for both Yeovil and Scunthorpe.

 

[NZHorn]

He was Scunthorpe Utd's reserve centre forward. I remember the Adidas football boots advertised by him with that byline.
